Just recieved a new computer in my classroom (ACER) and have a splitter on the evga port to run to my monitor and a hookup to a media projector to show content thru the computer. I can only get one to work...either the projector is showing the movie or I can pick up the signal on my monitor. Can't do both at the same time. Tech guys is somewhat baffled. My system has on board video and the tech guy said when they built these computers they set up one and just mirrored a few others.

Any thoughts?

um... only thing i can think of is that the vga port may not have enough electrical output to split the signal evenly and have both pick it up. If only one is picking it up, it can handle it, but w/ two, it may get too weak and it might not detect it.

thanks...there are 3 puters in school where this setup is working with no problem and then there are 2 computers that don't work correctly.....
